Question 7

In an attempt to maintain organic growing standards a peach farmer has decided to use an dormant spray on his crop to prevent an infestation of insects.The dormant spray is a natural oil that will be sprayed on the insects.What is the most accurate description of what will happen to the insects once they are coated with the oil?

Accepted Answer

A)  As the oil coats the insects their spiracles will become plugged.This will prevent oxygen from reaching the tracheae,tracheoles and eventually exchanging gases with the cells.
